There’s always a tsunami with an 8+ quake in the ocean. Likely to be ugly again.

Yes - I wasn’t sure if it was in the ocean or not. And i see that I was wrong on the 32km being ‘deep”. Well it is better than some of the shallow ones we have on the west coast, but the 2004 Indian Ocean quake/Tsunami was at 30km. So obviously this could be an almost near repeat of that one (about a 9.0 magnitude).

Wow.

Oh, and it looks to be on the same fault, and perhaps only 100-200km south. As I said, I hope that they learned from 2004. I know sensors were put out in the ocean - but the epicenter being so close to Sumatra that won’t help them.
